I find it a little bizarre that almost 40% of respondents consider Python better at symbolic manipulation than Mathematica. Mathematica is practically built for symbolic manipulation, and in Sage a lot of hard work has gone into pynac because plain Python does not have symbolics support. Why does Mathematica supposedly have a strong static type system? It's an interpreted language... Also interesting is that Mathematica beats Python at numeric computing (62%), but Python strikes back with a victory in scientific computing (81%)... huh? Certainly an interesting listing, though maybe one should not set too much stock by it since there are only a couple dozen respondents as yet. -Keshav ---- Join us in #sagemath on irc.freenode.net ! -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
